This is one of the two pieces that were accepted into the Mile High National, a pastel exhibit sponsored by the Colorado Pastel Society. It will be hanging at the Red Brick Center for the Arts in Aspen, Colorado from Oct 5th-Oct 31st, with an opening reception on October 5th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Red Brick is located at 110 East Hallam Street, Aspen CO 81611.

Other upcoming events: The Art Project, a small art group I belong to, will have a show also at the Red Brick through the month of November. That show opens on Nov 1st with an opening reception from 5:00 - 7:00 pm, and will be up until Nov 29th.

Glenwood Springs Art Guild's 45th Annual Fall Art Festival runs from Sept 26 - 30th at the Ramada Inn and Suites (I-70, Exit 116) in Glenwood Springs, CO. I have two pieces entered in this show, one of the best juried shows in the region.

Mesa State College will have a faculty adjunct show in October. The show is open Oct 22nd, and the opening reception is Friday Oct 26th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. This show is up untio November 8th, and is at the Johnson Gallery in the student center at Mesa State College, 12th Street and Elm Street in Grand Junction, Colorado.

I have several pieces in the Mountainside Miniatures exhibit, sponsored by the Mountainside Art Guild. This show is at the Foothills Art Center, 809 15th Street, Golden CO. It is up currently and runs through October 28th. As the name implies, it is a juried show for small works, 5x7" or smaller.

A Grand Tribute Art Show will be held Sept 25th - Oct 28th at several venues throughout the Grand Valley. This show is "a community effort to preserve the unique, unspoiled natural landmarks of the Grand Mesa and Grand Valley. The focus of this show is artwork that personifies the aesthetic wilderness beauty, wildlife habitat, pristine water resources and recreational opportunities of this area." In other words, it's right up my alley. They accepted 3 of my pieces, it is a juried show, and I'll let you know when they let me know where my pieces will hang.

It's a crazy year and a crazy time of year, but keeping my artistic self in motion keeps me motivated!
